LUCENA CITY — Two motorcycle riders died early Tuesday, July 16, after their vehicle bumped into a parked tractor in Candelaria town in Quezon province, police said.
The motorcycle, ridden by a still unidentified driver and backrider factory worker Emerson Alviso, 21, was traveling along the Maharlika Highway around 2:15 a.m. when their vehicle slammed into a parked tractor head on the side of the road in Barangay Masin Norte, a spot report from the Quezon police said.
Both riders suffered fatal injuries and died on the spot.
The police did not specify if the parked tractor head driven by “Don” had a reflectorized or early warning device to alarm approaching vehicles.
Don was placed under police custody while the investigation continued.
